3 Rules for Customising This Template
- Personalise the Intro: Never send a generic "Dear DJ" email. Mention a specific set or track they played recently. If you use The Musical Road's AI tools, we help automate this personalisation.
- Highlight the 'Why': Why should they play this? Is it a "sunset vibe" or a "dark warehouse tool"? Give them the context.
- Include the Metadata: Ensure your files are tagged correctly with ISRC codes and artwork. You can use our ISRC Code Generator if you don't have them yet.
Automate Your DJ Outreach
Manually emailing 500 DJs is a full-time job. With The Musical Road, you can upload your track once, select a verified list of DJs based on genre, and send branded, trackable promos in seconds.
FAQ
- How do I get DJs to open my promo emails?
- Personalise your subject line and intro. Mentioning a specific club or radio show where you heard their set increases the likelihood of an open significantly.
- Should I send a download link or a stream link?
- Both. DJs need to preview the track quickly, but they also need a high-quality file for their sets. Using a professional promo page from The Musical Road handles both seamlessly.
